It's Kylie vs. Kylie.
Reality star Kylie Jenner and Australian singer Kylie Minogue are currently engaged in some legal drama, after 18-year-old Jenner applied to trademark her first name in the United States. Jenner is seeking protection for the name "Kylie" in connection with advertising services, according to World Intellectual Property Review, though obviously, that doesn't sit well with 47-year-old Minogue.
Minogue's reps filed a notice of opposition on Feb. 22 to Jenner's application, claiming it would cause confusion among consumers and dilute the "Can't Get You Out of My Head" singer's brand. The documents call Jenner "a secondary television personality," and alludes to a few controversies she's been embroiled in over the years.
"Ms. Jenner is a secondary reality television personality who appeared on the television series 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' as a supporting character, to Ms. Jenner's half-sisters, Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian (i.e., the Kardashians)," the filing notes. "Ms. Jenner is active on social media where her photographic exhibitionism and controversial posts have drawn criticism from, e.g., the Disability Rights and African-American communities."
The documents seem to be making reference to the Interview magazine photoshoot of Jenner in a wheelchair that some felt was insensitive.
